    I think you will like the Cascadia. I did once drive an International porn star... I man, pro star.... :D
    The interior wasn't much different from the Cascadia... it would develop speed faster than the Cascadia... But the parts... they were all poor quality.... that truck was a POS.... :angry1: Every week there was a problem... :angry2: hub wheel seal leakage on the steers.... twice! Air leakages in various places.... It was even towed once because of air leakage in the brake system.... :angry8: It was a cheap piece of crap IMHO.... Had that thing for one month... and was very glad to move back into a Cascadia.... :biggrin_25519:
    All the best with your brand new truck... hope you like it....
    I once was put into a brand new Freightliner Cascadia... It came straight from the dealer... it had 10 miles on it and the condoms.... I mean, the plastic covers on the seats... Ohhhh that nice smell of brand new "baby truck".... Loved it! Broke in the engine... tight gears, still getting used to my driving and me getting used to it.... But decided to leave the company because my account was terminated.... left the truck with less than 100 thousand miles or so... can't remember for sure... :biggrin_25512:

    The brand new trucks my company bought, Freightliner 2020 have something "special" on those seats... not sure if it is adjustable temp... next time I talk to my friend company driver will ask him....

    And this was the place I delivered in MD last Friday...
    Had to back from the street into that small yard... so small that couldn't get the tractor and trailer straight...

    Driver next to me did the same...

    But his dock was much worse.... he had to fit the tail of his trailer into the dock door.... :confused:
    And he did a great job! A real professional... :yes2557:

    This was all the space we had in front after backed at the dock...

    Me... I didn't have to fit the tail of the trailer inside the dock hole... got very close to the yellow pole on the driver side though...:biggrin_2554:

    And left a lot of room on the other side...

    Oh well... I could have done better... but that was good enough....

    And today had to drop trailer on a busy street in front of Freightliner in Fresno, CA.... they have such a HUGE yard.. but only a few spots for trailers... and they were all taken... :angry1:
    Wasn't happy about having to drop the trailer on the street with a lot of traffic passing so close.... but the nearest place with truck parking was some kind of restaurant with parking for customers only....
